Ryan Harris: The paceman is back in Australia for treatment on an Achilles injury

Harris sustained the problem in his left foot while on Indian Premier League duty with Kings XI Punjab but Cricket Australia (CA) is confident he will recover in time for the summer showpiece, as well as Australia A's preceding tour of the British Isles.

"Scans showed the injury was not serious and he will undergo intensive rehabilitation with the aim of him being available to take part in the Australia A Series and we expect he will be fit to play in the Ashes."

Recovering

CA also believes Mitchell Starc, another injury-prone fast bowler, will recover from ankle surgery in time to play in the Champions Trophy, which starts in early June.
